From 0880516e250c33c371ea83754febdab073cfe8b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chad Ferman Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2026 11:25:14 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] docs: Add HAProxy architecture analysis for EDB PostgreSQL routing Add comprehensive architectural decision record (ADR) for replacing pgBouncer with HAProxy for AAP database connection routing due to AAP/pgBouncer compatibility issues. Changes: - Add haproxy-pgbouncer-architectural-analysis.md: 500+ line ADR covering architecture comparison, design validation, implementation guidance, health check scripts, and trade-off analysis - Update aap-containerized-enterprise-dr-architecture.md: Revise HAProxy configuration, network topology, and inventory files to reflect HAProxy database router pattern - Update .gitignore: Add .pub pattern Key architectural decision: - HAProxy routes AAP containers to PostgreSQL VIP (EFM-managed) - External health check validates writable node via pg_is_in_recovery() - Clean separation: EFM handles DB failover, HAProxy handles routing - Trade-off: Requires +67% max_connections (no pooling) but simpler ops RTO/RPO impact: Failover detection ~25s (well within 5min target) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 --- .gitignore | 1 + ...ontainerized-enterprise-dr-architecture.md | 161 +- ...aproxy-pgbouncer-architectural-analysis.md | 1418 +++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 1534 insertions(+), 46 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/haproxy-pgbouncer-architectural-analysis.md diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index 9955033..b5ab3d3 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -20,3 +20,4 @@ *.tmp *.bak .DS_Store +.pub \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs/aap-containerized-enterprise-dr-architecture.md b/docs/aap-containerized-enterprise-dr-architecture.md index d4aec41..5700cb1 100644 --- a/docs/aap-containerized-enterprise-dr-architecture.md +++ b/docs/aap-containerized-enterprise-dr-architecture.md @@ -159,7 +159,7 @@ User → GLB → HAProxy(DC2) → AAP Containers(DC2) → VIP(DC2) → PostgreSQ | **Automation Controller** | RHEL 9.4+, Podman | 2 | 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 60GB disk | 8 vCPU, 32GB RAM | | **Automation Hub** | RHEL 9.4+, Podman + Redis | 2 | 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 60GB disk | 8 vCPU, 32GB RAM | | **Event-Driven Ansible** | RHEL 9.4+, Podman + Redis | 2 | 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 60GB disk | 8 vCPU, 32GB RAM | -| **HAProxy Load Balancer** | RHEL 9.4+ | 1 | 2 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 40GB disk | 2 vCPU, 8GB RAM | +| **HAProxy DB Router** | RHEL 9.4+, HAProxy | 1 | 2 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 40GB disk | 2 vCPU, 8GB RAM | | **Total AAP Infrastructure DC1** | - | **9 VMs** | - | **34 vCPU, 136GB RAM** | **DC2 (Standby Site) - AAP Component VMs (STOPPED)** @@ -170,7 +170,7 @@ User → GLB → HAProxy(DC2) → AAP Containers(DC2) → VIP(DC2) → PostgreSQ | **Automation Controller** | RHEL 9.4+, Podman (STOPPED) | 2 | 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 60GB disk | 8 vCPU, 32GB RAM | | **Automation Hub** | RHEL 9.4+, Podman + Redis (STOPPED) | 2 | 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 60GB disk | 8 vCPU, 32GB RAM | | **Event-Driven Ansible** | RHEL 9.4+, Podman + Redis (STOPPED) | 2 | 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 60GB disk | 8 vCPU, 32GB RAM | -| **HAProxy Load Balancer** | RHEL 9.4+ | 1 | 2 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 40GB disk | 2 vCPU, 8GB RAM | +| **HAProxy DB Router** | RHEL 9.4+, HAProxy | 1 | 2 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 40GB disk | 2 vCPU, 8GB RAM | | **Total AAP Infrastructure DC2** | - | **9 VMs** | - | **34 vCPU, 136GB RAM** | > **Note:** Red Hat requires 6 VMs minimum for Redis HA compatibility (Redis colocated on gateway, hub, and EDA nodes = 6 total).

From 3d0d0391efc0495179dd85dff2d7655a34019c2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chad Ferman Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2026 16:16:45 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 5/6] fix: Correct regex escaping in password validation MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fixed bash syntax error in deploy-aap-lab-external-pg.sh caused by incorrect backslash escaping in regex pattern. Removed unnecessary double-backslash escape that was causing parse error. Error: [\'\"\;] → Fixed: [\'\"\;] This fixes the CI Bash Syntax Validation failure.
